"In the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War, Ezra Cornell wrote, "I would found an insitution where any person can find instruction in any study". For over 150 years, Cornell University has remained deeply committed to Ezra's vision. Explain how your life experiences will help inform your contributions to a learning community devoted to "... any person ... any study." We encourage you to think broadly about your life experiences, including how local (e.g., family, school, neighbourhood) or global communities you've been part of have helped shape your perspective."

I'm one to speak though. A friend messaged me asking me for a list of topics we've studied in Chemistry. I reply, "indeed I can". He asks if I will. I ask, "should I?". Annoying as it may be, it's seriously fun toying around with people like this.
"Have you registered for [event]?"
"Nothing is certain."
